3 Sessions on Green and Resilient Hotels
The hotel sector is a growing industry that needs to limit its carbon emissions: 66% reductions of emissions per room are needed by 2030 and 90% per room are needed by 2050 to comply with global climate change goals. At the same time, hotels are feeling the impacts of climate change through increased storms, water scarcity, and sea level rise. To address these challenges, the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are launching a webinar series around the theme of “unlocking investments for green and resilient hotels.”
The webinar series, comprised of 3 sessions described below, includes solutions for different actors in the industry value chain, specifying the learning outcomes and audience for each topic.
Session 1: April 6, 2023
In this session, you will discover the importance of climate-proofing the hotel industry and the strong business case for green and resilient hotels. You will gain an overview of some of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance’s free tools and resources to help kickstart your climate journey. You will also hear about IFC’s climate solutions for the hotel industry, built on the experience of investing over $3.2 billion in 335 hotel projects across 95 countries. As a member of the World Bank Group, IFC has a range of technical tools and financing programs hotels responding to the climate change challenge.
